README

Claude Docker

Prerequisites

**Required:**

✅ Claude Code authentication
✅ Docker installation

**Everything else is optional** - the container runs fine without any additional setup.

Quick Start

# 1. Clone and enter directory
git clone https://github.com/VishalJ99/claude-docker.git
cd claude-docker

# 2. Setup environment (completely optional - skip if you don't need custom config)
cp .env.example .env
nano .env  # Add any optional configs

# 3. Install (use sudo for GPU support)
sudo ./src/install.sh  # Or just ./src/install.sh without GPU

# 4. Run from any project
cd ~/your-project
claude-docker

**That's it!** Claude runs in an isolated Docker container with access to your project directory.

Installer notes:

Alias is added to your detected shell RC file (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, or .profile)
Persistent data defaults to ~/.claude-docker; override with CLAUDE_DOCKER_HOME=/path/to/writable/dir
